Matthew 21
1 As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Are xenaqajin che ri tinimit Jerusalén, xoꞌpan pa ri leꞌaj Betfagé puꞌwiꞌ ri juyubꞌ Olivos, ri Jesús xuꞌtaq bꞌik e kebꞌ utijoxelabꞌ,
2 saying to them, “Go into the next village, and you will immediately find a donkey tied up there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
xubꞌij bꞌik chike: Jix pa ri alaj tinimit ri kꞌo apanoq chiꞌwach, chilaꞌ kiꞌriqa wi jun atiꞌt bꞌur xuqujeꞌ jun laj bꞌur, e jatꞌitalik, chikira loq chiꞌkꞌama loq.
3 If anyone says anything to you about that, you will say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and that person will immediately send them with you.”
We kꞌo ne jachin kꞌo kubꞌij chiꞌwe, chibꞌij che xa kajawataj che ri Ajawxel, kꞌa te kutzalij chiꞌwe.
4 Now this came about that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. He said,
Jeꞌ riꞌ rech kakꞌulmataj ri xubꞌij loq ri qꞌalajisal utzij Dios are xubꞌij:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, 'See, your King is coming to you, Humble and riding on a donkey— on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
Chibꞌij chike ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén: Chiwilampeꞌ, ri ataqanel petinaq, sibꞌalaj utz ranimaꞌ Kejeninaq chirij jun laj bꞌur, ral jun awaj ri kubꞌan eqaꞌn.
6 Then the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them.
Xebꞌe ri tijoxelabꞌ je xkibꞌano jetaq ri xubꞌij ri Jesús chike.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat upon the cloaks.
Xeꞌkikꞌama loq ri atiꞌt bꞌur xuqujeꞌ ri alaj bꞌur, xkilikꞌ ri kimanta chirij, kꞌa te riꞌ xtꞌuyiꞌ ri Jesús chirij.
8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the road.
Sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq xkilikꞌ ri kimanta pa ri bꞌe, e kꞌo chi nikꞌaj xkitzukuj uqꞌabꞌ taq cheꞌ xkiya pa ri bꞌe.
9 Then the crowds that went before Jesus and those that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Ri winaq ri e nabꞌe cho ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ ri e teren chirij, xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: Juluwem che ri Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David. Tewchiꞌtal ri petinaq pa ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Ajawxel. Bꞌana la toqꞌobꞌ, chujkolo la nimalaj Dios.
10 When Jesus had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred and said, “Who is this?”
Are xok bꞌi ri Jesús pa Jerusalén, salabꞌataj ri kanimaꞌ konojel ri winaq, kakitatabꞌela chibꞌil taq kibꞌ ¿jachin waꞌ we achi riꞌ?
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
E kꞌo winaq xkibꞌij: Are waꞌ ri Jesús, ri qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios ri kel pa ri tinimit Nazaret rech Galilea.
12 Then Jesus entered the temple. He cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
Ri Jesús xok bꞌik pa ri Templo, xeꞌresaj loq konojel ri winaq ri tajin kakikꞌayij xuqujeꞌ tajin kakiloqꞌ aꞌwaj rech ri sipanik. Xuwolqotij bꞌik ri kimexa ri kꞌexol taq pwaq, xuqujeꞌ ri tajin keꞌkikꞌayij palomax.
13 He said to them, “It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers.”
Kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij chike: Tzꞌibꞌatalik chi ri wachoch Ja rech bꞌanbꞌal chꞌawem, ri ix kꞌut tajin kibꞌan kijul eleqꞌomabꞌ che.
14 Then the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Xepe kꞌu moyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ chꞌokeꞌr taq winaq, xeqet rukꞌ ri Jesús pa ri Templo, ri Jesús kꞌut xuꞌkunaj.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the marvelous things that he did, and when they heard the children shouting in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became very angry.
Ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri aꞌjtijabꞌ rech ri taqanik are xkil ri mayijabꞌal taq jastaq ri xubꞌan ri Jesús xuqujeꞌ are xeꞌkita ri akꞌalabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri Templo kakiraq kichiꞌ kakibꞌij “juluwem che ri Ralkꞌwaꞌl ri David”, sibꞌalaj xyakataj koyawal.
16 They said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes! But have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of little children and nursing infants you have prepared praise'?”
Xkibꞌij che ri Jesús: ¿La kata ri tajin kakibꞌij? Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Qas kinta wi, ¿man isikꞌim ta kꞌu ri tzꞌibꞌatalik kibꞌij: Chi kichiꞌ ri alaj taq nitzꞌ taq akꞌalabꞌ xuqujeꞌ ri ketuꞌn na, yaꞌtal wi ri jeꞌl laj bꞌixonem?
17 Then Jesus left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xel bꞌik ri Jesús pa ri tinimit, xeꞌkꞌol kanoq jun aqꞌabꞌ pa ri tinimit Betania.
18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Sibꞌalaj aqꞌabꞌil are tzalijem loq rech ri Jesús pa ri tinimit, xnumik.
19 Seeing a fig tree along the roadside, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there be no fruit from you ever again,” and immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Are xril jun higuera ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri bꞌe, xqebꞌ rukꞌ, xraj xutzukuj jun uwach, xa ta ne kꞌu ne jun xuriqo. Xubꞌij che ri cheꞌ: Xa ta ne junmul chik katwachinik. Tzi che riꞌ ri higuera xchaqiꞌjarik. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled and said, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Ri tijoxelabꞌ xemayijanik are xkil ri xkꞌulmatajik. ¿Jas che laꞌ aninaq xchaqiꞌjar ri higuera? xechaꞌ.
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to this fig tree, but you will even say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe, we qas kꞌo ikojobꞌal, man kakabꞌalaj ta ikꞌuꞌx, man xwi ta kixkwinik laꞌ kibꞌano jetaq le xinbꞌan in che le higuera, xane kixkwinik kibꞌij che le juyubꞌ leꞌ, chatel bꞌik chilaꞌ jat pa le cho, jeriꞌ kꞌut kakꞌulmataj na.
22 Whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
We qas kikojonik, kikꞌamawaꞌj na ronojel ri kita pa ri ichꞌawem.
23 When Jesus had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you this authority?”
Ri Jesús xok bꞌik pa ri Templo, are tajin kuya ri kꞌutuꞌn, xeqet rukꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kech ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq, e kachiꞌl ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri tinimit xkita che: ¿Jas kwinem kakoj chubꞌanik we riꞌ? ¿Jachin xyoꞌw we kwinem riꞌ chawe?
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: Ri in xuqujeꞌ kinta jun kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ chiꞌwe, we kibꞌij ri kinta chiꞌwe, kinbꞌij chiꞌwe jachin yoꞌwinaq kwinem chwe kinbꞌan we jastaq riꞌ.
25 The baptism of John—from where did it come? From heaven or from men?” They discussed among themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Ri kwinem ri xya che ri Juan rech kubꞌan qasanaꞌ ¿jawjeꞌ upetik wi, chikaj o choch ri uwachulew? Ri achyabꞌ xkichapleꞌj utzijoxik rij, xkibꞌij: We kaqabꞌij chi chikaj upetik wi, kubꞌij laꞌ chaqe ¿jas kꞌu che man xikoj taj?
26 But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, because they all view John as a prophet.”
We kaqabꞌij chi choch uwachulew xpe wi, kaqaxiꞌj qibꞌ chikiwach le winaq pa le tinimit, rumal aꞌreꞌ kikojom chi ri Juan are jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios. Jeriꞌ xeꞌkibꞌij che ri Jesús.
27 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Man qetaꞌm taj. Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: In xuqujeꞌ man kinbꞌij taj chiꞌwe jawjeꞌ kape wi ri kwinem ri kinkoj chubꞌanik we kinbꞌano.
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Jas kichꞌobꞌ chirij we ri: Kꞌo jun achi e kꞌo kebꞌ ralkꞌwaꞌl. Xubꞌij che ri nabꞌe: “Nukꞌojol, jateꞌ chakun pa ri wulew kamik.”
29 The son answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind and went.
Ri ala xubꞌij: “Man kawaj taj.” Kꞌa te riꞌ xukꞌex ukꞌuꞌx, xeꞌ pa ri chak.
30 Then the man went to the second son and said the same thing. He answered and said, 'I will go, sir,' but he did not go.
Kꞌa te riꞌ ri tataxel xubꞌij chik che ri jun ukꞌojol jacha ri xubꞌij che ri jun, ri ala xubꞌij: “Jeꞌ tat, kineꞌek.” Man xeꞌ ta kꞌut.
31 Which of the two sons did his father's will?” They said, “The first one.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you do.
¿Jachin chike ri kebꞌ alabꞌom xubꞌan ri karaj ri utat kubꞌano? Ri nabꞌe, xecha ri winaq. Ri Jesús xubꞌij: Qas tzij kinbꞌij chiꞌwe ri e toqꞌil taq alkabal xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqibꞌ ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi kachajil, e nabꞌejinaq chiꞌwach che ri kokem pa ri ajawarem rech ri Dios.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. But you, even when you saw this, you did not repent afterward and believe him.
Jeriꞌ, rumal ri Juan xtaq loq iwukꞌ chukꞌutik ri ubꞌeal ri sukꞌal man xikoj ta kꞌut xuqujeꞌ man xikꞌex ta ikꞌuꞌx. Are kꞌu ri e toqꞌil taq alkabal xuqujeꞌ ri ixoqibꞌ ri sibꞌalaj e kꞌi kachajil xekojon che ri xubꞌij, pune xiwil ix waꞌ we ri, man xikꞌex ta wi ikꞌuꞌx.
33 Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner. He planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a watchtower, and rented it out to vine growers. Then he went into another country.
Chitatabꞌej chi we jun kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj riꞌ: Kꞌo jun achi, ajchoqꞌe jun ulew, xutik nikꞌaj uvas. Xutzꞌapij, xukꞌot jun nimalaj jul, xuyak jun nimalaj ja jawjeꞌ kekꞌojiꞌ wi chajil taq rech ri tikoꞌn, xuya kanoq pa qajik chike nikꞌaj winaq, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ chubꞌanik jun utaqkil pa jun tinimit chik.
34 When the time of the fruit harvest approached, he sent some servants to the vine growers to get his fruit.
Are xopan ri qꞌij rech yakoj, ri ajchoqꞌe ri ulew xuꞌtaq bꞌik ri e rajchakibꞌ chukꞌamik ri uchꞌekoj.
35 But the vine growers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned still another.
Ri ajchakibꞌ xeꞌkichap ri e patanijelabꞌ. Xkichꞌay ri jun, xkikamisaj ri jun chik, ri urox xkibꞌan che abꞌaj.
36 Again, the owner sent other servants, more than the first, but the vine growers treated them in the same way.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌtaq chi bꞌik sibꞌalaj e kꞌi patanijelabꞌ, choch ri xuꞌtaq bꞌik nabꞌe mul. Ri ajchakibꞌ xkibꞌan xuqujeꞌ kꞌax chike.
37 After that, the owner sent his own son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Kꞌisbꞌal rech, xutaq bꞌik ri ukꞌojol, xuchomaj: Kakinimaj waꞌ we nukꞌojol xchaꞌ.
38 But when the vine growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take over the inheritance.'
Ri ajchakibꞌ are xkil ri alkꞌwaꞌlaxel, xkibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: “Are waꞌ ri kechꞌabꞌen kan ri ulew. Qakamisaj rech kaqechabꞌej kan uj ri ulew.”
39 So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Jeriꞌ xkichapo, xkesaj bꞌik pa ri ulew, kꞌa te riꞌ xkikamisaj.
40 Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine growers?”
Ri Jesús xuta chike ri winaq: ¿Jas kibꞌij ix kubꞌan na chike ri ajchakibꞌ riꞌ?
41 They said to him, “He will destroy those miserable men in the most severe way, and will then rent out the vineyard to other vine growers, men who will give him his share of crops at the harvest time.”
Ri winaq xkibꞌij: Kuꞌkamisaj na ri ajchakibꞌ, xuqujeꞌ kuya na kan ri rulew chike nikꞌaj ajchakibꞌ chik rech jeriꞌ kaya rech ri uwach ri ulew are kuriq ri qꞌij rech yakoj.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
Ri Jesús xubꞌij chike: ¿La man isikꞌim ri tzꞌibꞌatalik ri kubꞌij: Ri abꞌaj ri xketzelaj uwach ri ajchakibꞌ xuxik ri abꞌaj ri qas kꞌo kutayij. Waꞌ we riꞌ are uchak ri Ajawxel ri kubꞌan chaqe kujmayijanik?
43 Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation that produces its fruits.
Rumal riꞌ kinbꞌij chiꞌwe chi ri ajawarem kamaj na chiꞌwe, kaya na chike jun tinimit chik ri qas kawachinik.
44 Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces. But anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Ri katzaq puꞌwiꞌ ri abꞌaj, katukin na, are kꞌu we are ri abꞌaj katzaq puꞌwiꞌ ri winaq kasach na uwach ri winaq.
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they understood he was speaking about them.
Are xkita ri e kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri fariseos ronojel ri kꞌambꞌejabꞌal noꞌj ri xubꞌij ri Jesús, xkichꞌobꞌo chi aꞌreꞌ kebꞌixik.
46 Seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowd, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
Xkichapleꞌj kꞌu utzukuxik jas kakibꞌan chubꞌanik kꞌax che ri Jesús, kakixiꞌj kꞌu kibꞌ chikiwach ri e winaq rumal ketaꞌm chi ri Jesús are jun qꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios.
